"Comprehensive Insurance for Student Lives Coupled with *PAS for international Students"

*PAS: Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research (Hiroshima University bears the premium of PAS for all students. This comprehensive insurance is incidental to PAS.)

In the past few years, there have been cases where students were claimed to pay high compensation for bicycle accidents and property damages.

On our campus, accidents such as minor collision between cyclists and pedestrians, laptop damages by accidentally pouring water on it, etc. are increasing as well.

In these cases, students were claimed extremely high compensation for their faults.

In order to protect yourselves from troubles like these while studying on HU campus,

it is mandatory for all international students to purchase this insurance. (Individual payment)
